It's an installation composed of dream leaves.
They have a property that makes them waterproof, and when you immerse them completely in water, they give off a color and reflection that could be likened to mer coeur.
I use this principle, this property, to change the shape of the pool, for example. I'm going to completely line a water feature with dream leaves and as they're all submerged, the pond will take on a silvery sheen, the sky, the surface.
Paléatchy's contemplative practice—a vibrant dance between observation and manipulation—unveils the inherent language of nature. His pieces do not merely represent or mimic the natural world; they are a sensitive, almost shamanic, translation of its essence.
Through his hands, materials borrowed from the earth—dream leaves, for instance—morph into symbols of a deeper ecological sermon, echoing the principles of Deep Ecology.
